Answer:

Part 1)
y=-2x-1

Part 2)
y=-(1/2)x+(5/2)

Explanation:

Part 1)

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular

then

the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

so


m1*m2=-1

Find the slope of the given line

we have


y=(1)/(2)x-1

the slope of the given line is
m1=(1/2)

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line


(1/2)*m2=-1


m2=-2

Find the equation of the line into slope intercept form


y=mx+b

we have


m=-2


point (-2,3)

substitute and solve for b


3=-2(-2)+b


3=4+b


b=-1

The equation is equal to


y=-2x-1

Part 2)

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular

then

the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

so


m1*m2=-1

Find the slope of the given line

we have


y+1=2(x-3) -----> equation of the line into point slope form

the slope of the given line is
m1=2

Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line


(2)*m2=-1


m2=-(1/2)

Find the equation of the line into slope intercept form


y=mx+b

we have


m=-(1/2)


point (5,0)

substitute and solve for b


0=(-1/2)(5)+b


b=5/2

the equation is equal to


y=-(1/2)x+(5/2)
